I don't know, what kind of push ups are we talking cause I can do a few variations...
Someone just told me I was being arrogant and I'm very sorry if it sounds like I'm arrogant.. But honestly there are so many variations and in some I'm decent and suck at others so I just honestly wanted to know what type of push ups people refer to as push ups... To me a standard push up is a military one but once I thought the one with your arms in straight line from your shoulder was the standard so I was honestly asking what kind of push ups..
I'm very sorry if I sounded arrogant.
that's a very legitimate question. I think form trumps the movement in most cases. When someone tells me they can do 40 pull-ups, and dangle about like a chimp on a rod, I don't find that all too much impressive, compared to a paused proper 10 pull-ups.2 -
Just did 45 standard ones.0

I agree.. And like with push ups pull ups have so many variations.. On a good day I can do 3-5 hanging... but a friend of mine claims to do 12 but he doesn't go down to a full hanging position.. Then we have the kipping pull ups and the butterfly pull ups and if people know the movement in these, then they can do a lot more than when they do hanging.. It's not the same..0 -

I don't know who is telling you this stuff (that you sound arrogant). Try not to let other people have any power over you....who are they to tell you how to act and what to think. Sorry but that just rubbed me the wrong way with all the stuff you are going through.
Can I adopt you?0 -

I can do 40 complete, wide arm push ups if I haven't warmed up at all. If I am warmed up - I can do 60.1

I don't know. The last time I tried was 3(?) years ago. I got to 47 when someone walked into my office and I needed to stop. Felt like I had 10-20 more in me.0

15-20 depending on my mood. Maybe a few more if cash or honor were involved.
*this is standard pushups. IDK how many I could do on my knees.0 -

Nothing against you men but I just wanna say I'm super proud of all the ladies here doing push ups
It's way to often I hear that men should lift and women should just lift low weights and go to yoga or zumba class.. I'm just so happy to read how many woman are actually badasses and winning push up competitions.
And the ones who are just starting out and doing 1 push up or knee push ups.. damn girls, I'm proud of you! Keep going!!1 -
@Gimsteinn
You got me all wrong...
If you look up the website where I pulled the charts from, you'll find the Cooper Push-ups test, it's basically the upper body version of the Cooper 12min sprint test, to test your vo2max...
The test and chart is testing women doing push-ups on their knees...
I wasn't insinuating that you were less capable, it's two different test and two different charts...
@FabulousFantasticFifty
That is freaking amazing, better than most men here...1 -

Ahh good to know.. But that makes me pissed that they assume women do theirs on the knees as well. I believe that we can obtain great strength.. we just have to put in a little extra work.
Sorry Jessie that I got all RAWR on you

No sweat, it's not like my comment didn't sound a little chauvinist anyhow... Lol...
I don't think the test was meant to insult women, it's just that push-ups are difficult for a lot of women, so for the purpose of having a chart with range they allow for knees...
Not everyone is beast like you...

Well actually everyone has a beast in them. We just unleash it at a different time
I believe everyone can be fit and do what you and me did. And I wanna help them get there. That's why I'm going back to school so I can get license and help other.0 -
I did 200 ...Started last May ...Now what Beyotches ....(I'm so witty)0
-
I can push up, I just can't seem to get back down, so I guess I can do .51

We'll soon find out, I am sure my trainer will invent some kind of torturous kind of push up today0

At last count I was on 73 and my arms died.0 -

I hadn't actually done pushups in quite a while so decided to give it a try and see if my answer was still correct. I did 23!
I guess the Total Gym was worth the money because normally this time of year I would be at my weakest.0 -
Probably like a solid 3, on a good day 0

maybe 40.1

30!0

The most I ever did in one row was 100 when I was about 22, but back then, I was obsessed with push ups and did 100 (over the course of 3 sets) every day, religiously, like 2 or 3 times a day in my room. Then kick boxed actively and did more as part of training.
I was somewhat obsessed with Bronson (Britain's most dangerous criminal) who set records of how many push ups he could do in 1 min. And also became obsessed with bodyweight exercises generally, so I wanted to challenge myself. Got pretty slack over the last two years especially so need to get back into it. I could probably do about 40-50 something now, then collapse, wheezing. That being said, I do love a push up challenge...freakishly competitive when it comes to them

Idk if I'm not cheating and doing them correctly probably 20.0
